I am looking for knives that can be passed down to the next generations

Btw, don't waste the money to buy 1 set of knives.

In kitchen, you can survive with just:

1 Chef's knife

1 Utility knife.

1 time investment so can last for years ..

although my hubby don't cook a lot, he knows the kitchen needs good knives. and he's also a fan of jap knives wor.. the way he held a good knife, staring at the blades and smiling to himself, wow, eerie lor.. kekeke.

AFC has been advertising a certain brand of jap knives on, which is on sale at the AFC shop but think it's those small small knives for paring only... i want big big knives lor.. kekek.

My chef brother used the 2 man standing brand of knife at home. So i think shd be good la. I using ikea knife now.

Also a great fan of AFC, including my 7 yr old gal. We like French Cooking @ home, Nigella bites and Chef @ home. Surprisingly my husband likes Scandivanian Cooking.

Went to check on the starhub cable tv packages and realised AFC is within one of the basic groups... shall agressively try to convince hubby to let me choose AFC as one of the basic group cos we might likely get starhub's Home hubbing pack which includes 4 basic group channels together with the broadband and Digital voice.

Ooohh, soon I may be able to join u gals in drooling at great food and good looking chefs!

hahaha, must show him all the good benefits of AFC. Eye candy (got both male & female chefs) and good food! Hehehehe. We're also planning to get home hubbing pack. As long as I got my AFC, Discovery channels and Crime Investigation channel, i'm a happy woman. If can get the KTV channel, even better, but I scared I become noise nuisance to neighbours. wahhahahaha btw, anyone know if HBO or Star Movies is a better pick? Hubby say I can only choose one cos very ex.

i prefer neither. I will opt to go online streaming to get my movies. u watch what u wan at your own time!

for us, we are likely to get the discovery channel, playhouse disney channel (my son lor!) and AXN and if I can AFC! is going to convince hubby AFC is a better choice than taiwanese variety since we can catch those at his mum's place. wahahaha~

Anyone know whether I can download all those cooking shows ?

Actually, I want to brush up my cooking and learn from start, like how to use the knives properly, and other standard things.

the one man is the subline of 2 men lor... one man is JA Henckels Int'l and made in China, which is the value for money range and the 2 man one is Zwilling JA Henckels AG, which is the branded one... hehe.. did a search and found this info so share with you all.

i think the robinsons ones are all demo... i prefer hands-on classes lor.. if it's demo only, i rather save the money and watch cooking shows.

[samgalz 2]

I find the shows on either youtube.com, baidu.com, pps.tv or veoh.com but for veoh.com and pps.tv u need a client to watch it.
